Battery problem

mr_wrxman · 29th June 2006, 3:37 PM

Hi,

My toshiba m200 has been playing up (i think) and i think it is reporting battery levels incorrectly. Is this a batter problem or a laptop problem? It'll go from 100% and drain slowly to maybe 55 - 65% and then drop down to 10 instantly, from there i don't have an approximation on how long the battery will last. Any suggestions or help or explanation/solution?

Cheers

Sounds like the battery is on the way out.

How long have you had it? The M200 has been out for a bit, has it not?
